Title: Media Search Enhanced Author: Yoren Chang Published: 23 março, 2014 Last modified: 9 setembro, 2026 --- Pesquisar plugins ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/media-search-enhanced.svg) # Media Search Enhanced Por [Yoren Chang](https://profiles.wordpress.org/1fixdotio/) [Baixar](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/media-search-enhanced.1.0.1.zip) * [Detalhes](https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/media-search-enhanced/#description) * [Avaliações](https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/media-search-enhanced/#reviews) * [Instalação](https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/media-search-enhanced/#installation) * [Desenvolvimento](https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/media-search-enhanced/#developers) [Suporte](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/media-search-enhanced/) ## Descrição **Try it live in your browser** — [launch the WordPress Playground demo](https://playground.wordpress.net/?blueprint-url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/1fixdotio/media-search-enhanced/master/blueprint/playground.blueprint.json). Boots a WordPress instance with this plugin active and a Media Library seeded with 8 attachments, so you can see the cross-field search in action immediately. Searching` mountain` returns 6 hits (matches in filename and alt text included) — core WordPress search would only find 3. This plugin is made for: * Search through all fields in Media Library, including: ID, title, caption, alternative text and description. * Search Taxonomies for Media, include the name, slug and description fields. * Search media file name. * **Multi-term search** — Anywhere in the WordPress admin (the Media Library list view at `upload.php`, the “Add Media” modal, and other admin screens), use commas to search for multiple items at once (e.g. `image-a.jpg, photo-2.jpg`). Matches attachments containing **any** of the terms. Limited to 10 terms per search. Frontend searches still treat commas as literal characters, as a query-amplification guard for public pages. * Use shortcode `[mse-search-form]` to insert a media search form in posts and template files. It will search for media by all fields mentioned above. ## Capturas de tela [⌊Demo search on the Media Library screen.⌉⌊Demo search on the Media Library screen .⌉[ Demo search on the Media Library screen.

Please add the following code to the `functions.php` in your theme: ``` function my_get_attachment_url( $url, $post_id ) { $url = wp_get_attachment_url( $post_id ); return $url; } add_filter( 'mse_get_attachment_url', 'my_get_attachment_url', 10, 2 ); ``` ## Avaliações ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d40cba54705149929aaf8ceb6039c4b80015c6a2fa68f58135e0387ddfa904d2? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent plugin and support!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-plugin-and-support-657/)󠁿 [Frederickson](https://profiles.wordpress.org/frederickson/) 23 abril, 2026 Very, very happy with this plugin and the support received from the developer who was kind enough to add a massive time-saving update to this plugin which nows allows to search multiple images at the same time in the Wordpress multimedia image library by using a comma as separator between the images that you want to look up. This is a massive time saver if you want to look up ranges of different images / photos in your image library and for instance delete these when updating product or other image catalogs in Wordpress or Woocommerce websites / stores. Thanks a lot for the excellent update, Yoren!

Don't install this. Developer doesn't update this. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e0ee4d8c6a141622b8caba940f4ca591f777c3f64d270001cc1533b70ec03187? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[No longer working – breaks media search completely](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-longer-working-breaks-media-search-completely/)󠁿 [Tomas Eklund](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tomas-eklund/) 21 dezembro, 2021 I've noticed that a few other users on the support pages have reported that this plugin, which hasn't been updated for the last two years, no longer works as intended. In fact, it breaks the media library search functionality completely. I can attest to this. This is very unfortunate as the functionality that this plugin seemingly used to provide would be very useful to me. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/be90d64c4934a446bd1e1328f0dc0f95090ece09a111f140688406971a96c7f2? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Wonderful plug-and-play plugin that lets me search through alt text](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wonderful-plug-and-play-plugin-that-lets-me-search-through-alt-text/)󠁿 [waterdandelions](https://profiles.wordpress.org/waterdandelions/) 1 novembro, 2019 I find this plugin really convenient because I name my media files only with alphabets, but I write the alternative text in my non-alphabetical language. After the installation, I can search both titles and ALT text. Also, it is a plus that it needs no set-up. I am really grateful to the developer for creating and maintaining this useful plugin. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c0e28e04af1b0dd81cdd6c1e07617f252317dee8875fcaadc89474dee2509670? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[It saves me!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-saves-me/)󠁿 [Baharehtz](https://profiles.wordpress.org/baharehtz/) 10 julho, 2017 1 resposta I had problems with finding in media library search the images that I have added in the passed few years, searching them with the file name wasn't working at all.. till I installed this plugin, things start to work and I don't have anymore this problem!

[Navegue pelo código](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/media-search-enhanced/), consulte o [repositório SVN](https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/media-search-enhanced/) ou assine o [registro de desenvolvimento](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/log/media-search-enhanced/) por [RSS](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/log/media-search-enhanced/?limit=100&mode=stop_on_copy&format=rss). ## Registro de alterações #### 1.0.1 * Fix: The `[mse-search-form]` shortcode returned no results on the frontend. Attachment searches that don’t specify a post status now default to `inherit`; without it WordPress core restricts the query to public statuses, which no attachment has. Regression introduced in 1.0.0. * Note: Any query for attachments with a search term and no explicit post status now finds attachments where it previously matched nothing. #### 1.0.0 * New: Multi-term search — use commas to search for multiple items at once anywhere in wp-admin, including the Media Library list view and the “Add Media” modal ( e.g. `sunset.jpg, logo.png`). Limited to 10 terms. Frontend searches still treat commas as literal characters. * Performance: Replaced LEFT JOINs + DISTINCT with EXISTS subqueries, eliminating temporary tables and improving search speed up to 10x on large media libraries. * Performance: Numeric searches (e.g. searching by attachment ID) now use exact integer matching instead of string comparison, enabling primary key index usage. * Compatibility: The plugin no longer overwrites the entire WHERE clause. Conditions from WordPress core and other plugins are now preserved. * Security: Fixed reflected XSS in the search form placeholder. * Security: Private attachments are now only visible to users with appropriate permissions (editors/admins see all; authors see only their own). * Developer: Added `mse_max_search_terms` filter to customize the multi-term cap( default 10). Added `mse_allow_multi_term_search` filter to customize where multi- term search is allowed; defaults to `is_admin()`. #### 0.9.2 * Security enhancements. #### 0.9.1 * Fix: Prevent “Not unique table/alias: wp_postmeta” SQL error by aliasing the postmeta JOIN. Props [@mikemeinz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikemeinz/). See https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sql-syntax-error-26/ #### 0.9.0 * Added the languages pt_BR and es_ES. Thanks to [@larodiel](https://github.com/1fixdotio/media-search-enhanced/pull/4). * Fixed an issue when searching for images in the Image block, the plugin caused the HTTP 500 error. Also thanks to [@larodiel](https://github.com/1fixdotio/media-search-enhanced/pull/4). #### 0.8.1 * Fix PHP notices and updated the “Tested up to” field. #### 0.8.0 * Supporting MIME type and date filters when searching in the Media Library. Thanks to [@jedifunk](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/results-filters) for spotting this bug. #### 0.7.3 * Fix PHP warnings. Thanks to [@DavidOn3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-message-in-search-result-page). #### 0.7.2 * Bug fix: Make the search work with WPML Media – All languages. * Filter the search form if it’s on the media search results page. * Make the images clickable in the search results. Can be disabled by setting the filter `mse_is_image_clickable` to `false`. #### 0.7.1 * Bug fix: Remove duplicate search results when WPML plugin is activated, THE RIGHT WAY. #### 0.7.0 * Remove duplicate search results when WPML plugin is activated. Props [@joseluiscruz](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minor-conflict-with-wpml-media-plugin). #### 0.6.1 * Security update: use `$wpdb->prepare` to process SQL statements. Thanks to [@daxelrod](https://profiles.wordpress.org/daxelrod/) for this. #### 0.6.0 * Add ID to search fields. * Modify the clauses with `posts_clauses` filter. #### 0.5.4 * Add filter `mse_get_attachment_url` to modify the attachment URLs in the media search results. #### 0.5.3 * Bug fix: Filtered excerpt should be returned, not echoed. #### 0.5.2 * Display thumbnails in the media search results. #### 0.5 * Use shortcode `[mse-search-form]` to insert a media search form in posts, which only searches for media files (through all fields). #### 0.4 * Search media file name. #### 0.3 * If there are Taxonomies for Media, search the name, slug and description fields. #### 0.2.1 * Add DISTINCT statement to SQL when query media in the “Insert Media” screen #### 0.2.0 * The first version ## Meta * Versão **1.0.1** * Última atualização **1 mês atrás** * Instalações ativas **5.000+** * Versão do WordPress ** 3.5 ou superior ** * Testado até **6.9.10** * Idiomas * [Dutch](https://nl.wordpress.org/plugins/media-search-enhanced/), [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/media-search-enhanced/), [Spanish (Chile)](https://cl.wordpress.org/plugins/media-search-enhanced/) e [Spanish (Spain)](https://es.wordpress.org/plugins/media-search-enhanced/). * [Traduzir para seu idioma](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/media-search-enhanced) * Tags * [attachment](https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/attachment/)[media](https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/media/) [media library](https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/media-library/) * [Visualização avançada](https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/media-search-enhanced/advanced/) ## Classificações 4.4 de 5 estrelas. * [ 23 avaliações com 5 estrelas ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/media-search-enhanced/reviews/?filter=5) * [ 1 avaliação com 4 estrela ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/media-search-enhanced/reviews/?filter=4) * [ 0 avaliação com 3 estrela ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/media-search-enhanced/reviews/?filter=3) * [ 0 avaliação com 2 estrela ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/media-search-enhanced/reviews/?filter=2) * [ 4 avaliações com 1 estrelas ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/media-search-enhanced/reviews/?filter=1) [Sua avaliação](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/media-search-enhanced/reviews/#new-post) [Ver todas avaliações](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/media-search-enhanced/reviews/) ## Colaboradores * [ Yoren Chang ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/1fixdotio/) * [ yoren ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/yoren/) ## Suporte Problemas resolvidos nos últimos dois meses: 1 de 1 [Ver fórum de suporte](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/media-search-enhanced/) ## Doar Gostaria de contribuir para o desenvolvimento deste plugin?
